nature-inspired wedding and elopement photographers

We are Nate and Megan Kantor, a married wedding & elopement photography team shooting outdoor weddings all over the Western US. We live part of the year at our home in Joshua Tree California, and the other part of the year we travel the West in our vintage Airstream. We are first and foremost adventurers — we’ve built our life around the pursuit of the outdoors and traveling to wild places. To tell you a bit why we love our job so much, I have to first tell you our story.

In July of 2016 we arrived back home to Texas after hiking 1100 miles through California on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was three months of real, full-time adventure — hiking 20+ miles a day on our own two feet, living in a tent, climbing mountains and crossing rivers, carrying everything we needed on our backs. That experience changed our lives for good. We knew after that we couldn’t just do weekend trips anymore. We wanted to LIVE a lifestyle that allowed us to be outside as much as possible. So we packed up our car, built a camper in the back, and drove to the mountains with cameras in hand and a desire to tell stories for couples like us who are undeniably in love with each other and the outdoors.

Since then, we’ve been traveling all over the American West (and beyond) capturing intimate weddings on mountaintops and adventurous elopements on desert cliffsides. We love our job because it puts us outside — we get to explore the otherworldly boulders of Joshua Tree, alpine lakes in Colorado, and glaciers in Patagonia. All while photographing couples who love these places as much (or even more) than we do.

OUR COMMITMENT

We do not discriminate by gender, religion, race, background, sexual orientation, nationality, political affiliation, level of outdoor experience, or “style”. If you’re down for an adventure in the outdoors, we’re down!

We celebrate all forms of love. You are welcome with us, and we can’t wait to hear about your story.

About our Work

We believe in big, adventurous, meaningful love stories.

A lot of our inspiration for our work comes from our own story. By meeting and choosing each other, we’ve inspired each other to do the things we believe in. There’s something so powerful about being known fully, loved deeply, and truly believed in. The crazy things we both dream about, we also both fully support. And we think marriage is a deep commitment to helping each other pursue wild ideas.

We work with couples who believe in the legacy of their story. Those who want something a little deeper than the traditional, who would rather experience culture than trends, who seek after messy hair and dirt under their fingernails and good memories to share. Whether that’s a cliffside vow reading in Moab, or a challenging scramble to a glacial lake in Patagonia, or an intimate family gathering at a vineyard in Argentina, we are all there – ready to capture your values, legacy, and authentic, imperfect moments.

We aim for our photos to be timeless and real. Because when you look back on your wedding in 5, 10, 20 years and are sharing the story of your marriage to your kids or students or grandkids, we want them to feel that same sense of wonder that you felt the day you promised forever to your partner.

Your love is so important and deserves to be documented with truth.
